Osprey Orielle Lake is the Founder and Executive Director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International and Co-Director of the Indigenous Women's Divestment Delegations. On 27th October, Osprey joined a powerful TreeSisters panel discussion.

Osprey quotes Ena Santi “We women can do anything. We run through the jungle at night with our babies on our backs to protect our forest. We will stand anywhere. We are descendants of the Jaguar. We women can do anything.” Osprey goes on to remind us we are all descendants of the animals and plants, of the Jaguar. We were all struck by the depth, brilliance, radical and practical nature of the conversation. That’s why we’ve created these clips so you can get a small taster. We can’t do full narrative justice here. For that we recommend watching the panel.
